Release: Xtags 8/9.3.6 for QuarkXPress 8/9

August 7, 2012 by car

This release of Xtags adds support for relative line sizing and POSIX paths, and fixes some minor box-creation issues.

Added support for relative line sizing, so that relatively-placed lines can now be sized relative to their referenced boxes. Lines always shrink (they never grow) towards their start point (the referenced corner) and their direction is always maintained.
Added support for UNIX/POSIX-style paths (like /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/Chris/Pictures/Rhubarb.jpg). Note that, for backward compatibility with MacOS/HFS-style paths, a path must contain at least one slash (/) and may contain no colons (:) to be treated as a POSIX-style path. (Mac only)
Fixed a long-standing problem where a relatively-placed box could, in rare situations, be sized incorrectly.
Restored support for the box lock flag.
